Highgate Park

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:53): My question is again to the Minister for Human Services. Has the Highgate Park site, or the former Julia Farr Centre, been sold and, if so, for what value? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: On 7 March, the minister announced that Highgate Park was being placed on the market for sale, with expressions of interest to close on Friday 5 May 2023.

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services) (14:53): Thanks for the question; it's really important. As the trustee, my responsibility is to ensure that whatever happens with the Highgate Park site provides the best possible outcome for people with disability. As did the previous government, we have continued to work with groups such as JFA Purple Orange to ensure that, moving forward, that's exactly what happens. As you have said, the site has been put on the market for sale. As this is a commercial process, I can't tell you any more at this particular point, but be assured that as soon as we have some news that we can share we will be sharing it.
